While WellPoint itself has been around for less than a decade, its Indianapolis roots are well established. As far back as the mid-1940’s Hoosiers have been receiving medical coverage from both Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana, which were owned by Anthem Inc. In 2004 what was then WellPoint Health Networks merged with Anthem to form the present day leader in health care, WellPoint.

Through the health care coverage and local jobs that WellPoint provides to the Circle City their impact as a company can be felt in many facets of Indianapolis society. It is a comforting feeling to know that even though people will always get sick,we have a neighbor in town who truly wants to help.

Affordable health care with value and quality are the watchwords at WellPoint. “We work in the moment,” they say, “but we remember the future.”
